Only you

Imprisoned

Song ~ Pain by PinkPantheress

Shit, there's a guard. I can't stay here. I wonder for a moment, then an Idea pops into my head.

"Hu hum" I coughed getting the guard's attention.

He looked over at me annoyed but upon realising who I was his expression changed. "Miss Kiyadee, do you need something?" He asked.

"Yes, I think there's a problem with the ship engine or something." I lie. "The captain told me they needed all the hands they could get." I say hiding the bag of money I had in my hand.

"So you're saying?" The guard asked confused like it wasn't already obvious.

"I'm saying you're needed at the engine room." I almost lost my cool. Why ask such a dumb question?

"Oh but I need to keep guard ...because I'm a guard, you know." he chuckled.

I take in a deep breath. "You are needed at the engine, that's an order." I demand trying to scare him.

The guard looked uncomfortable  "Well..." He hesitated "Of course Miss." He said rushing past.

I could have been nicer. He was just doing his job. Poor guys probably gonna get fired when my father finds out what I'm doing. I walked down the metal platform until I hit solid ground.

I started to walk through the Earth Kingdom village, it was so beautiful but my Fire Nation attire was wearing me down. I felt as if the sun was directly in front of me. But I had to push through I came here for a reason.

I was on a mission with my father but he got angry at me, No surprise there. He sent me packing home, I practically had to beg the ship driver to let us have one pit stop. I wanted to look at the "delicate scenery from my window."

But in reality, I wanted to free myself from my father, the Fire Nation, and society. It was all too much sometimes.

The only good thing about going on missions was that I got to get out of the Fire Nation. And I knew as soon as I got back I'd probably have to go back to the Royal Fire Academy for Girls. The thought of it made me want to scream.

With a scan of money in my palm I glance at the stores deciding which I'd go in first.

"Miss Kiyadee!" I turn around to see two guards behind me. Without hesitation, I take off running down a ally way hearing them shout behind me.

I see a ladder nearby attached to the side of a building leading to the roof so I climb up it in a hurry. I use all my power to hop across to the other buildings. I see a wooden pole between two houses. I slide down it hitting the ground with a thud.

I checked back to make sure my bow and arrow were still strapped to my back.

I look around and see a shop. I rush in for cover, looking through the window cautiously, seeing if the guards have passed.

As I see them run past I let out a breath. I finally stand up taking a look at my surroundings. The shop was simple, nothing special.

I looked around seeing if they had any medicine just then someone I assume the shop owner came out she was a middle-aged woman with grey hair.

She looked at me and fear shot through her eyes, looking at my clothing she nervously asked if I needed help. "I'm alright thank you." I say still looking for stuff. I could feel her watching my every move.

I wasn't dumb, I knew most people hated the Fire Nation for what they had put the other nations through, rightfully so.

Now realising I had a few little items I picked up a backpack and headed to pay for my stuff.
